Ezekiel 17:16 in Context — Ezekiel 17
14 Para que o reino ficasse humilhado, e não se levantasse; mas podendo continuar a existir se guardasse seu pacto.
15 Porém rebelou-se contra ele, enviando seus mensageiros ao Egito, para que lhe dessem cavalos e muita gente. Por acaso terá sucesso, ou escapará aquele que faz tais coisas? Poderá quebrar o pacto, e [ainda assim] escapar?
16 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor DEUS, que morrerá em meio da Babilônia, no lugar do rei que o fez reinar, cujo juramento desprezou, e cujo pacto quebrou.
17 E Faraó não lhe fará coisa alguma nem com grande exército, nem com muita multidão na batalha, quando levantarem cerco e edificarem fortificações para destruírem muitas vidas.
18 Porque desprezou o juramento, quebrando o pacto; e eis que havia firmado compromisso; havendo pois feito todas todas estas coisas, não escapará.
